  1. 21. In Vivo Evaluation of Skeletal Muscle Morphological and Mechanical Properties using Medical Imaging

    Författare :Zhongzheng Wang; Ruoli Wang; Elena Gutierrez Farewik; Rodrigo Moreno; Jonas Stålhand; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Muscle volume; fascicle length; pennation angle; anisotropy; three-dimensional freehand ultrasound; magnetic resonance imaging; diffusion tensor imaging; magnetic resonance elastography; Muskelvolym; fascikellängd; pennationsvinkel; anisotropi; tredimensionellt frihandsultraljud; magnetisk resonanstomografi; diffusionstensoravbildning; magnetisk resonanselastografi; Teknisk mekanik; Engineering Mechanics;

    Sammanfattning : Skeletal muscles are soft tissues that play an important role in maintaining body posture and enabling movements through force generation. The force-generating capacity is associated with the morphological and mechanical properties of the muscle. LÄS MER

  3. 22. Evaluation of Errors and Limitations in Ultrasound Imaging Systems

    Författare :Mattias Mårtensson; Lars-Åke Brodin; Peter Rask; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Medical engineering; Medicinsk teknik;

    Sammanfattning : There are binding regulations requiring safety and efficacy aspects of medical devices. The requirements ask for documentation that the devices are safe and effective for their intended use, i.e. if a device has a measuring function it must be correct. LÄS MER

  4. 23. Resonance sensor technology for detection of prostate cancer

    Författare :Ville Jalkanen; Olof Lindahl; Britt Andersson; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; resonance sensor; prostate tissue; stiffness; detecting prostate cancer; Medical engineering; Medicinsk teknik;

    Sammanfattning : Prostate cancer is the most common type of cancer in men in Europe and the USA. Some prostate tumours are regarded as stiffer than the surrounding normal tissue, and therefore it is of interest to be able to reliably measure prostate tissue stiffness. The methods presently used to detect prostate cancer are inexact, and new techniques are needed. LÄS MER

  5. 24. Assessment of Myocardial Function using Phase Based Motion Sensitive MRI

    Författare :Henrik Haraldsson; Tino Ebbers; Matts Karlsson; Jan Engvall; Matthias Stuber; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Medical engineering; Medicinsk teknik;

    Sammanfattning : Quantitative assessment of myocardial function is a valuable tool for clinical applications and physiological studies. This assessment can be acquired using phase based motion sensitive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques. LÄS MER

  7. 25. Extending MRI to the Quantification of Turbulence Intensity

    Författare :Petter Dyverfeldt; Tino Ebbers; Krishna Nayak; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Turbulence intensity; cardiovascular disease; blood flow; hemodynamics; magnetic resonance imaging; generalized phase-contrast MRI; turbulent flow; Medical technology; Medicinsk teknik; Fluid mechanics; Strömningsmekanik;

    Sammanfattning : In cardiovascular medicine, the assessment of blood flow is fundamental to the understanding and detection of disease. Many pharmaceutical, interventional, and surgical treatments impact the flow. The primary purpose of the cardiovascular system is to drive, control and maintain blood flow to all parts of the body.
